manslations

Hello and welcome to the last manslation of 2007. After today, I’ll be on hiatus until after the holidays (I’m running around to all kinds of weird Christmas places, spreading some damn cheer, ok?) For our manslation of the day, we’re back for another round of, “Jeez, is this guy interested or NOT?” A reader [...]

Welcome to Friday here at Manslations, and well, this is a first. Up until now, not even our resident superstar commenter, requester (and more recently, Honorary Man) Loiralei has managed to submit 2 great questions in one week. (Manslator’s Note: Ladies, if you want to attempt to break Loiralei’s record, or just have a question [...]

A reader named Scarlett wants to know about male fantasies. What do we think about? What makes for a fantasy girl? Read on to find out… What do men consider a “cool” girl? What qualities are the MOST important in the one they really want to be with long term? What do men consider a [...]

This one took me by surprise. I mean, look, I am well aware that we men are a little confusing. But I had no idea THIS was even a question. A reader named Connie wants to know if men ever get heartbroken, cuz she’s never seen it happen. Well, I’m here to tell you that [...]

Well, well, well. Someone’s pants are on FIRE. Whose? None other than frequent commenter and requester, Loiralei. Through deviousness and deceit, our lass has gotten herself into a really weird situation. Well, have no fear, L. I’m a really weird guy. Loiralei writes: O.K. This time I’ve got myself in a real pickle. After my [...]

Welcome back, lovely manslatees, to yet another week in the manslations jungles. We begin the week with the age-old question — what do we think about a woman asking a man out? Reader Sassy writes: Hi Jeff–I’m in a singles activity group (30/40/50 years olds) which is great! Lots of nice people. And lately one [...]

Ah, the workplace flirtation gone wrong. (And when has it gone right?) What a great Friday topic. Lili hasn’t been dipping her pen in the company ink, fishing off the company pier, pooping where she eats…but she’s been flirting about it with a young lad at her job. And it got weird. (MANSLATOR’S NOTE: Second [...]

Ok ladies. We’ve got one of the “fear of commitment” guys. If you’ve read here before, you may know that I’m NOT in the camp that most men are as “afraid of commitment” as they are “unwilling to commit to people they don’t want to be with.” Which…I mean…isn’t everybody afraid of that? Hello? However, [...]

A reader named Cassandra is in a rough situation — she can’t let go of her ex. And he can’t let go of her. So…what’s the problem? Oh, you know, there are other “people” in the way. You know — “LIFE”. What can she do? Jeff I need advise from someone who can “see” more [...]

Today, we’ve got a pretty common dilemma that faces women of all ages, shapes, and sizes. (Well, not ALL shapes. The ones that are shaped like a starfish don’t date much.) What do you do if your man seems like he likes you, but he never thinks to get you flowers, cards, or other thoughtful [...]
